Same here. I’ve been a happy customer for 2 years now after I switched over from mailbox.org
The webinterface looks like it could use some fresh paint but everything else is top notch. Also never had any issues regarding email reputation.

#15I use Google Apps now because the pricing for Googlers is too good to pass up (practically free, 48 times cheaper than iCloud+), but before that when I was being frugal I just set up gmail with my own domain (no payment required). Instructions: https://paulonteri.com/thoughts/how-to/custom-domain-with-gm... If your org is more than one person, this might get unwieldy.
When the recipient receives your emails, doesn't it show it was sent via the original Gmail account upon closer inspection?

I love Fastmail for my personal email but the spam filtering leaves a lot to be desired.
For my startup we tried to use it but had to move because of deliverability issues.

Yes, the original email address appears in the headers (In gmail you can click "see full email" if I remember correctly)

#19I've been running my own mail server for 10 years. It fought me for nearly a year before I got it configured correctly, but since then I haven't had to do anything other than updates. Works great, no delivery issues and no spam to speak of.
I'd love to recommend running your own server, but I really don't. It's terrible and you'll hate it.
Also don't run your own server and let your boy/girlfriend to use it as their primary account unless you're cool with administrating your ex's email for the next decade.

#20Migadu has been good to me at $19/year for a couple domains, a few mailboxes and some decent features like distribution lists. They don't hard enforce limits and I've never come up or been warned about it.
